Managing multiple financial accounts, automating trades, and tracking wealth shouldn't be a manual hassle. In this deep-dive, I break down how I built a full-stack personal finance manager. A system that integrates with banks, brokers, and credit platforms, automates routine financial actions, and provides real-time insights into my portfolio. From choosing the right tech stack (Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL) to tackling authentication, web scraping, and automation, I walk through every decision, challenge, and solution right down to deploying on a Raspberry Pi with a Cloudflare tunnel.

This website exists to signify my move towards becoming an expert in software engineering. Being an expert at something doesn't just happen by chance. You may have incredible gifts from birth and require much less time than others to pick up concepts and learn new skills, but at some point, to become extraordinary in an endeavor, you must put in a tonne of intentional effort. This intentionality is what I've now accepted. I want to become a software engineering expert and this site is the beginning of that long road to expertise, the beginning of intentional programming self-development in addition to my full-time employment, to drastically improve my skills, fast.
